Intended Use
The NGT is intended for gastric decompression, gastric suction, administration of nutritional supplements and medication, and to monitor core temperature.
Device Description
The NGT Nasogastric Tube is made of a plastic material, contains three lumens, a main suction lumen, a smaller vent lumen, and a still smaller temperature thermistor lumen. The primary suction lumen is used for drainage, the second vent lumen provides an air inlet as a mechanism to break suction minimizing the potential for tube blockage secondary to mucosal tissue invagination into the side holes of the primary lumen. The device is intended to be used with a standard suction source to facilitate drainage.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and basic functionality of a nasogastric tube, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device facilitates gastric decompression and suction, and administers nutritional supplements and medication, which are supportive medical interventions rather than directly treating or curing a disease or condition. The device also monitors temperature, which is a diagnostic function.

No
The NGT is described as being for "gastric decompression, gastric suction, administration of nutritional supplements and medication, and to monitor core temperature." While monitoring core temperature could be considered a form of data collection, the primary uses are therapeutic or for delivery, not for diagnosing a condition or disease. The description highlights its function for drainage and air inlet, which are operational functions rather than diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly states the device is a physical tube made of plastic with multiple lumens, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • NGT Function: The description clearly states the NGT is used for procedures performed within the body (in vivo), such as gastric decompression, suction, administration of substances, and temperature monitoring. It interacts directly with the patient's internal environment.

The device description and intended use are consistent with a therapeutic and monitoring device, not a diagnostic device that analyzes samples.

§ 876.5980 Gastrointestinal tube and accessories.

(a)
Identification. A gastrointestinal tube and accessories is a device that consists of flexible or semi-rigid tubing used for instilling fluids into, withdrawing fluids from, splinting, or suppressing bleeding of the alimentary tract. This device may incorporate an integral inflatable balloon for retention or hemostasis. This generic type of device includes the hemostatic bag, irrigation and aspiration catheter (gastric, colonic, etc.), rectal catheter, sterile infant gavage set, gastrointestinal string and tubes to locate internal bleeding, double lumen tube for intestinal decompression or intubation, feeding tube, gastroenterostomy tube, Levine tube, nasogastric tube, single lumen tube with mercury weight balloon for intestinal intubation or decompression, and gastro-urological irrigation tray (for gastrological use).(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls). The barium enema retention catheter and tip with or without a bag that is a gastrointestinal tube and accessory or a gastronomy tube holder accessory is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.(2) Class I (general controls) for the dissolvable nasogastric feed tube guide for the nasogastric tube. The class I device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 876.9.

  • Device Name Proprietary Name: NGT Nasogastric Thermistor Common/Usual Name: Nasogastric Tube
    1. Identification of Predicate or Legally Marketed Device
    • Bard Nasogastric Sump Tube manufactured by C.R. Bard cleared under K960176 .
    • Arqyle Salem Sump Tube manufactured by Sherwood Medical cleared under K935781 .
    • Mon-a-therm Esophageal Stethoscope with temperature sensor manufactured by . Mallinckrodt cleared under K914887
  • Device Description 4.

The NGT Nasogastric Tube is made of a plastic material, contains three lumens, a main suction lumen, a smaller vent lumen, and a still smaller temperature thermistor lumen. The primary suction lumen is used for drainage, the second vent lumen provides an air inlet as a mechanism to break suction minimizing the potential for tube blockage secondary to mucosal tissue invagination into the side holes of the primary lumen. The device is intended to be used with a standard suction source to facilitate drainage.

    1. Intended Use
      The NGT is intended for gastric decompression, gastric suction, administration of nutritional supplements and medication, and to monitor core temperature.
    1. Comparison of Technological Characteristics
      The NGT Nasogastric Tube has similar technological characteristics to the Bard Nasoqastric Sump Tube and the Argyle Salem Sump Tube in that the materials are the sizes available are within the range of sizes currently available, but the NGT Nasogastric Tube incorporates a temperature monitoring capability. This temperature monitoring capability is similar to the Mallinckrodt Mon-a-therm Esophageal Stethoscope with temperature sensor. However, the NGT Nasogastric Tube incorporates this temperature thermistor into a third lumen whereas the other predicates all have 2 lumens.

The differences in the configurations of each of the devices do not affect the ability of the device to suction gastric fluids. Each of the devices requires monitoring by the clinical staff to assure proper nasogastric tube function. Each of the devices uses the same operating principal.
